well, um, why not? I am assuming your board has a minimum setting for fan speed, some sort of one. Zalman's at like 1400-ish rpm normally dont tip off the bios to say IM GOING TO DIE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA and shut down on you.

you just need an rpm meter from that fan to connect to the motherboard, I believe fanmates also carry over rpm meter wire to the board. if not, any decent rheobus.

yeah, they have left the smart fan out on the budget board. i feel like an idiot for skimping on $30.

at a cool 24 degrees, my fan won't go below 3000rpm.

can you explain again why i shouldn't use a fan mate on the stock heatsink? i can't see why it's a problem ?

it's right under CPU/AGP/RAM voltage adjustment.

try Ctrl-F1 to bring out everything in the bios menu

btw, i have never tried the smart fan control with stock cooler, when i swapped a nexus 120mm real silent to zalman 7700, and enable smart fan control, the fan just stopped after the machine start booting to windows. so, i hook all the fans back to coolermaster muskeeter and keep them at 6V.
